Albion have been linked with Blues target Moussa Dembele of AZ Alkmaar and Cameroon international forward Somen Tchoyi.

The Baggies are believed to be close to securing a deal for Tchoyi who currently plays for Red Bull Salzburg.  The 27-year-old, who was voted the Austrian Player of the Year last season, is expected to cost the Baggies in the region of £2-3 million.

Meanwhile Albion are tracking Belgium international Dembele.  The 23-year-old is also a target for neighbours Birmingham City with the Blues currently leading the race for the hot-shot’s signature. 

Roberto Di Matteo is desperately searching for additional firepower ahead of the Premier League kick-off next weekend.  Albion have been given the daunting task of travelling to champions Chelsea on the opening day of the season.
